So we are dividing the debt into three (seasons) and doing this will also ensure that we do not create a burden to Treasury. Besides drought there was also Covid-19 which created further problems, so we are working well with farmers.<\/p>\n<p>Explaining how the debt will be repaid, Chigodora said CBZ will submit a stop order facility to the Grain Marketing Board to debit their money from the farmers\u2019 sales.<\/p>\n<p><b>Related:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>More: Herald<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
